9556. 'Three branches of the lampstand out of one side of it, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side of it' means completeness so far as good and truth are concerned. This is clear from the meaning of 'three' as what is complete, dealt with in 2788, 4495, 7715 9198; from the meaning of 'branches of the lampstand' as truths derived from good, and consequently power, dealt with above in 9555; and from the meaning of 'out of one side' and 'out of the other side' as from good and consequently from truth. For the parts on the right side of the body mean forms of good, and those on the left mean forms of truth derived from good, as for example with the right and left sides of the face, the right and left eye, the right and left ear, the right and left foot, and so on with everything else in the body.
7715. 'Three days' means a state made complete. This is clear from the meaning of 'three days' as a state made complete, dealt with in 2788, 4495. By a state made complete one should understand an entire state from beginning to end; for every state has its beginning, stages of development, and highest point, this period being what one should understand by a complete period and what is meant by 'three days'.
